* And He , coming into the temple , the chief priests and elders of the people came near to Him as He was teaching , saying , By what authority do you do these things ? And who gave this authority to you ? * And answering , Jesus said to them , I also will ask you one thing , which if you tell Me , I also will tell you by what authority I do these things . * The baptism of John , from where was it ? From Heaven , or from men ? And they reasoned among themselves , saying , If we shall say , From Heaven , He will say to us , Why then did you not believe him ? * But if we should say , From men , we fear the people . For all hold John to be a prophet . * And answering Jesus , they said , We do not know . And He said to them , Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things .
